I was a little girl the first time I ever heard Janis sing- she barreled her way into my heart like a freight train and has stayed there ever since. A symbol of lost potential, yes, but more than anything, a symbol of freedom and resilience. Janis had tragedy in her life, but she herself was not a tragic figure, always cackling and always passionate about her music and the movement she was a part of. I can only aspire to be that free and have the lust for life that she did one day. On a side note: I’m stunned that so many comments on here are focusing on how Janis “isn’t a real singer” or even that they are happy she left us. You people are the same ones who gave birth to her demons, and if it hadn’t been for them, Janis would have lived the long life she deserved to. Stop trashing the memory of this incredible woman, and find something productive to do.
When I hear her sing, I get goose bumps & go back to being 16 & the pain I endured when my man married someone else after 5 years together. I always still feel her pain when I hear her sing. The closest I came to seeing her was in Denver 1968. We didn't have tickets but anytime the doors opened, we could hear her sing.
I was 15 and fell in love w the album cheap thrills. Helped me thru some rocky times in my teens. Now when I hear her those times come flooding back. I used to dress like her- I had some cool clothes!
Janet was awesome,I discovered her raspy belt voice at the age of 15...there so much pain and honesty in her voice. All these negative comments in this section is just ugly. I can't understand ppl deriving pleasure in downing and knocking someone whos long gone,who paid the highest price for her vices,is that not enough. Thank you for leaving us a little piece of yourself janis..
Janis reminds me so much of my little sister. Body language, intensity, clothes but sweet and insecure inside. My sister also died of an overdose. So sad. I really miss my sister and Janis.
Cee Jay I’m nowhere near perfect and I don’t claim to be. I’ve never done drugs and never will. You can’t tell me she was classy. Can you imagine what kind of career she could’ve had if she were still alive.
James Dean so......you either think she’s trash or you think if she had made the choices you had made she could have had a more successful career? That’s pathetic. Either way your passing a judgement on someone else’s life. Why don’t you take care of you. It’s all we can do anyway. Appreciate her art she gave to the world. On another note, you obviously don’t know addiction.
Cee Jay Im not judging her! I never met her. Maybe I shouldn’t have said she was trash but I’m saying I wish she wouldn’t have died from an overdose so she could have had a long life and career! No, I don’t know addiction because I was never stupid enough to try drugs!
If people want to hear people really sing the blues there are a lot of almost forgotten black American blues singers that Janis, Elvis and others....were inspired by
[Verse 1] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train When I was feeling nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained And rode us all the way to New Orleans I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana I was playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, yeah Windshield wipers slapping time I was holding Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew [Chorus] Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Nothing, I mean nothing, honey if it isn't free, no no Yeah feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues You know feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee [Verse 2] From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine - original written by Kris Kristofferson 💕Janis Joplin made THIS tune great!🎶☺✌
After the 1969 show at Seattle's Sick's Stadium down in "Garlic Gulch", the band went across the street to the Tavern where she wanted whiskey, my (future) bartending mother inlaw informed her that it was a Tavern, and only served beer and wine, the latter she settled for.
Here's to the 50th anniversary of the loss of this tragic angel on Earth. My dear, beautiful Janis. I hope the Good Lord was kind in judgment, because your music did move people in a positive way. For that I'll be forever greatful. Fun fact... on that posthumous album PEARL, there was a hit single released from it called MERCEDES BENZ. Turns out, she was so impressed at seeing the new Benz purchased by Jimi Hendrix that she wanted to do a song about it. Thus, her last hit single...🇵🇷🇺🇸😎
She didn’t mean to OD. She really intrigued me because she was so soft spoken, but when she sang she was unbelievable! She and her band were so in sync!
@@ClassicRoyal , her extreme talent came from her extraordinary smarts - SHE WILL NEVER BE REPLACED , SHE SANG FROM HER BIG HURT HEART ! AND SHE KNEW HOW TO ROCK ! SHE WAS A SPECTACULAR !
Who’s here after hearing that Shailene Woodley will produce and star as the legendary late soul singer Janis Joplin in a finally-long waited musical drama biopic film about her life & career? Hope they name it “Piece of My Heart” or maybe “Pearl”. Give the film a 2hrs or maybe 3hrs long if needed. Who should direct, write & produce the film? Which studios should distribute the film? 20th Century Studios (formally 20th Century Fox), Fox Searchlight Pictures, Universal 🌎 Pictures, Paramount 🏔️ Pictures, Warner Bros Pictures, or Sony Pictures/ Columbia Pictures or TriStar Pictures? I sure do wish & hope singer-songwriter Pink, at least, appear in the film. Probably playing a different character since she’s also a huge Janis fan herself. Maybe she could play her mother at least.
The more amusing thing about "Hound Dog" and its original version was that it wasn't written by Big Mama, it was written by two white guys named Leiber and Stoller. Stand By Me, and many other hits were written by them as well most people attribute to Black musicians not white men whose family come from Easter Block European countries.
How much damage this woman caused is impossible to calculate, The Queen of Acid Rock, the High Priestess of the Drug Culture, she and her ilk amplified drug use in America big-time. She wasn't even a singer, more of a screecher. I sew her at Atlantic City Pop and was so glad when she finally got off the stage and quit performing, or whatever it was. What a train wreck.! Yet she is now refleted upon so fondly. What a farce on history. She's and others of that era bear much responsibility for the the drug epidemic killing and maiming so many in the country to this day! When will they ever be held accountable? If this segment is any indication, the answer is never.
First. She sang the blues. It wasn't "acid rock" by any means. It was blues rock. And she was a belter not a screecher. She sang from her guts which is what blues singers do.

I grew up with this music and all I can say is what a waste of skin! All she had to do was stay away from crap that eventually destroyed her voice, her career, and her life! I have no respect for anyone who kills themselves, and to all you fans out there. You can't cure stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A rather poor singer who whose "legacy" was secured by her self-destructive behavior. If a regular, non-substance-abusing person howled like that, she (or he) would likely be completely ignored.

Listening to her gives me goosebumps. All that soul and raw energy. She knew how to sing the blues.
She was a beautiful and talented musician. She paved the way for female Rock and roll musicians. She is iconic
How great to see her brother and sister! I wish this was much longer.
she still gives me goose bumps,when I hear her music,rock on janis.

Michael Gaynor Thank you Michael- that’s all I want in life honestly 😂💖
Hannah Moran What a thoughtful comment. Thank you.
I’m 36 years old and I’ve been a fan for a long time... my father played her music growing up 🤗.... RIP Janis Joplin... Rock on in heaven 🤗

She was terrific....and treated absolutely and unforgivably horribly by Port Arthur, Texas

she didn’t want to be a female elvis presley, she wanted to be a female otis redding
I loved her voice. I also understood a few of her addictions as well. Here addrenaline rush was the best.
Fun fact: Janis Joplin once had a blind date with William Bennett, who was later Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Freaky blind date for them both 😱
So HE started her on heroine....
If people want to hear people really sing the blues there are a lot of almost forgotten black American blues singers that Janis, Elvis and others....were inspired by
[Verse 1]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
When I was feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
And rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slapping time I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
[Chorus]
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, I mean nothing, honey if it isn't free, no no
Yeah feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
[Verse 2]
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine - original written by Kris Kristofferson
💕Janis Joplin made THIS tune great!🎶☺✌
Ms Peggy Lee Kris Kristopherson said that Janis had done the definitive version of the song.
Ms Peggy Lee That’s a fantastic song!
And she was a Texas girl too!! Always reminded me of Etta James and Tina Turner!!...Iconic...Love You..Janis.. 💘
Janis: A LEGEND Forever!! Her PASSION as she was singing was Palpable!! xoxoxoxoo
A GREAT ICON AND LEGEND!

Hello Maria
After the 1969 show at Seattle's Sick's Stadium down in "Garlic Gulch", the band went across the street to the Tavern where she wanted whiskey, my (future) bartending mother inlaw informed her that it was a Tavern, and only served beer and wine, the latter she settled for.
She sounds like the original axl rose! He definately saw a form of inspiration from her I have NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
What a talent.. Gone way too soon. ❤
Thanx CBS for sharing this,...you always do such a great job on everything you do.
Unique! There will never be another Janis!

I'd really like to hear Janis' answer at the end when the guy asks her about southern comfort.
Janis Joplin rainha do Rock. Apaixonante❤💚💙💛💜💟💝💔💋👄👍
Legend🖤💜
Awesome, Happy Birthday Janis
She has a great sound!
I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU JANIS !
Janis is electric.
Another member of the 27 club....would she have mellowed with age? We were never to know.😞
For those who thumbed down. You Tube should Force them to explain why so they can be called out.
She fell asleep October 4 , The Feast Of Saint Francis !🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Ma said she could hear her wailing through the walls standing in line at the Fillmore.
The pearl album shows the truth whole truth & nothing but⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🩹
She was good for her time.
Love Janis !!
Sadly the drugs made her look like she was nearly 50...

You know nothing, Jim Mordovancey.
James your moronic moralism makes me want to take drugs. Sorry you had no ear for music then or now.
To all of you above who commented to James,Pearl and I Thank you!
OK Then what rock performers DO you like?
Drugs 👎
I grew up with this music and all I can say is what a waste of skin! All she had to do was stay away from crap that eventually destroyed her voice, her career, and her life! I have no respect for anyone who kills themselves, and to all you fans out there. You can't cure stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do a profile of Jim Morrison from The Doors next. Joplin had an irritating voice. Morrison was a crooner.
A rather poor singer who whose "legacy" was secured by her self-destructive behavior. If a regular, non-substance-abusing person howled like that, she (or he) would likely be completely ignored.
Not really true though, her legacy was because of her good singing talent, not the drugs she was taking,
But that’s just on you for thinking that way,
